"And  now,  mine  own  deere  Son,  since  ye  'Term  of  thy  Indenture  drawetb  to  a  Close, 
and  thou  wilt  soon,  as  befitteth  Master  Printer,  sette  up  Shoppe  of  thine  own,  once 
again  wolde  I  counsel  thee  concerning  ye  Mysterie  of  our  Craft : 

"A  likelie  Lad  thou  art,  and  a  well-skilled,  and  I  foresee  that  thou  wilt  imprint 
a-manie  Bokes  of  diverse  Kinds,  aye,  and  Pamphlets  and  Broadsides,  too,  and  mayhap 
Mottoe  Gardes,  quaintly  lettered  and  coloured  right  curiouslie.  'This  is  well;  for,  whether 
thou  print est  ye  gravest  Worde  of  sober  Sage,  or  ye  lightest  Jeste  or  Rime,  thou  mayest 
take  Assurance  that  this,  our  Worlde,  hath  ample  need  for  both  Wisdom  and  Mirth, — 
aye,  and  Beautie  to  boot.  Heed  onlie  that  there  be  no  Harm  in  aught  thou  printest. 
Grave  or  Merrie,  let  all  that  comet h  of  thy  Presse  be  for  ye  Betterment  of  Mankind. 

"Soe  for  ye  Matter ;  now  e  for  ye  Manner  in  which  thou  shall  order  thy  work: 

"Bear  ever  in  Minde  that  thy  Craft  is  a  Right  Worthie  Craft  and  one  in  no-wise  to 
be  dishonoured.  See  then  that  thy  'Types  bee  ever  deftly  cut,  thy  Paper  or  Parchment  of  ye 
Beste,  thy  Imprintyng  cleane,  clear  &  true,  thy  Pictures  neatly  graven,  thy  Colours  rightly 
chosen  and  well  laid  on\  thy  Bindyng  both  Staunch  and  Comelie  and  proper  to  its  Boke. 

" Ah,  what  a  sorrie,  haplesse  'Thyng  is  a  Virtuous  Boke,  ill-made  and  ill-bound! 
Naked  'Truth  may  be  well  enough ;  but  if  Falsehood  be  faire-arrayed  and  "Truth  be 
foully  clad,  which  will  Men  regard? 

"Mark  me  further :  Rememberest  thou  how  I  didde  bring  home  to  Meat,  worthie 
Master  Overbeck,  and  how  our  good  Dame  didde  look  upon  him  with  great  Disfavour  ? 
And  for  why  ?  Because,  whilst  hys  Discourse  was  both  wise  and  witty,  yet  were  hys 
Haires  unkempt,  hys  Handes  unwashen,  hys  Cloake  and  Doublet  soiled  and  torn.  Tea. 
And  didde  not  our  Dame,  contrarie-wise,  give  blithe  Wellcome  to  that  sad  Runagate, 
Francis  Deeringe,  even  bycause  though  he  spake  naughte  save  witless,  frothie  Follie 
and  worse,  yet  was  hys  Person  seemlie  and  hys  Raiment  faire  and  well-befittyng  hys 
Teares  and  Station  ? 

"Verilie,  if  we  wolde  have  our  Friendes  that  doe  converse  with  us  but  an  Houre  at  a 
'Time,  our  Familiars  that  doe  abide  with  us  perchance  a  Night  e  at  most, —  if  we  wolde 
have  these  ever  neat  and  fresh  to  View,  how  much  more  sholde  we  desire  unfailyng 
Beautie  and  Seemliness  in  Bokes  that  doe  live  with  us  all  our  Lives  and  doe  converse 
with  us  at  length  and  whenever  we  doe  ope  their  cover es  I 

"Forsooth,  Kyng  Solomon  didde  say :  lOfye  makyng  of  manie  Bokes  there  is  no  End.'' 
But  I  say,  moreover,  'Of  ye  makyng  of  good  Bokes  is  there  a  sorrie  Lack.1 

"Thus,  then,  doe  I  counsel  thee,  my  good  Ladde :  'That  thou  shalt  soe  manage  thy 
Business  that  naughte  shall  leave  thy  Presse,  be  it  ye  hughest  Volumn  or  ye  smallest 
Carde,  but  what  shall  bee  as  beauteous,  perfect  and  cunnynglie  wrought  as  thou  canst 
devise  with  all  ye  Craft  that  I  have  taught  thee  and  that  which  thou  shalt  hereafter 
learn  for  thyself.  Doe  this,  and  doubt  not  that  Men  will  honour  thee  and  God  will  bless"

TYRE  BROUGHT  TO  KING  SOLOMON  THE  TREAS- 
URES OF  ALL  THE  COASTS  OF  THE  ANCIENT 
-*  WORLD,SO  DO  MODERN  THINKERS  BRING  US  YET 
RICHER  CARGOES  OF  COMFORT,  ASSURANCE,  STRENGTH 
AND  LOVE  FROM  THE  EXHAUSTLESS  STORES  OF  THE 
MOST  WONDERFUL  OF  BOOKS.  TODAY,  BIBLICAL  INTER- 
PRETATION HAS  GIVEN  PLACE  TO  BIBLICAL  CITATION, 
FOR  THE  BIBLE  EXPLAINS  ITSELF.  ITS  GREAT  TRUTHS, 
SIMPLY  PRESENTED,  ARE  SUFFICIENT  FOR  ALL  NEEDS. 

BLESSINGS:  BASIC  TRUTHS  IN  BIBLE  MOSAICS,  compiled  by  AGNESS  GREENE 
FOSTER.  Strength  and  comfort  for  all  is  the  message  of  this  little  volume.  The 
deep  and,  in  the  truest  sense,  practical  philosophy  of  the  Bible  is  here  devel- 
oped in  sequences  of  selections  from  that  grand  Book  which  was  made  for  man. 
Blessings,  Promises,  Commands,  Admonitions  and  Answers  are  the  titles  of  the 
five  chapters,  each  chapter  being  a  mosaic  of  biblical  selections  arranged  to  form 
coherent  essays  illustrating  vital  truths  of  life.  The  book  is  printed  on  fine 
Normandy  vellum  in  two  colors.  Blashfield's  beautiful  "Christmas  Bells" 
serves  as  a  frontispiece;  and  the  several  chapters  are  beautified  by  reproduc- 
tions of  Plockhorst's  "  Christ  Blessing  Little  Children,"  Hofmann's  "  Christ 
Among  the  Doctors"  and  "Christ  in  Gethsemane,"  "St.  John  the  Baptist"  by 
Andrea  del  Sarto,  and  "  The  Kneeling  Samuel "  by  Reynolds.

BIBLE  MOSAICS:  Arranged  by  AGNESS  GREENE  FOSTER.  Four  chapters  of 
BLESSINGS  are  here  presented  as  individual  books,  each  with  its  frontispiece, 
under  the  titles,  PROMISES,  COMMANDS,  ADMONITIONS  and  ANSWERS.

THE  WORKS  OF  JESUS :  CHRIST'S  HEALING  ACTS,  cited  from  the  Bible  by 
EDNA  S.  LITTLE.  Christ  the  worker,  Christ  the  healer,  Christ  the  doer  of  deeds 
and  comforter  of  men.  What  Jesus  wrought  is  set  forth  in  this  compilation 
which  assembles  and  literally  restates  those  acts  of  the  Founder  of  Christianity 
recorded  in  the  New  Testament;  and  to  the  record  is  appended  the  Sermon 
on  the  Mount  as  the  recognized  epitome  of  undoubted  Christian  doctrine.

This  book,  which  has  been  found  so  invaluable  by  church  workers,  and  so  great 
a  source  of  comfort  to  many  readers,  is  yet  appealingly  frank  and  simple  in  its 
plan.  It  is  the  record.  Nothing  is  added,  nothing  is  taken  away.  The  noble 
head  of  Christ  from  Leonardo  da  Vinci's  "  Last  Supper"  has  been  chosen  as  a 
frontispiece,  and  an  appropriate  design  is  paneled  on  the  olive-tinted  cover.

CLEASANT  RECORDS:  TO  NO  PRINTED  BOOKS  DO 
WE  TURN  WITH  MORE  PLEASURE  THAN  TO  OUR 
OWN  WRITTEN  CHAPTERS  ON  LIFE,  LOVE  AND 
FRIENDSHIP.    AND  ESPECIALLY  AS  WE  PLAY  A 
PART  IN  THE  LIVES   OF  OUR  FRIENDS,  NO   GIFT  TO  A 
FRIEND  IS  MORE  WELCOME  AND  APPROPRIATE  THAN 
A  WELL-MADE  RECORD  BOOK  IN  WHICH  MAY  BE  PRE- 
SERVED THE  NOTES,  SIGNATURES,  PICTURES  &  OTHER 
MEMENTOES  THAT  RECALL  HAPPY  DAYS. 

WEDDING  BOOK:  THE  HOUSE  THAT  JACK  BUILT,  by  ROBERT  WILSON 
HYDE.  Hail  to  the  Bride!  Is  there  ever  a  happy  bride  who  does  not  delight 
to  recall  every  incident  of  her  wedding  ?  The  Wedding  Book,  with  its  graceful 
humor,  beautiful  illustrations  and  embellishments  and  fine,  durable  binding, 
will  hold  for  her,  as  if  laid  in  lavender,  all  memories  of  the  happy  day  when 
she  was  the  most  important  person  in  her  world. 

"This  is  the  House  that  Jack  Built. 
This  is  Sir  Jack  of  High  Renown, 
You've  heard  of  him  I'll  wager  a  crown, 
That  built  the  House  that  Jack  Built. 
This  is  the  Maid  of  the  Dainty  Gown 
That  captured  Jack  of  High  Renown 
And  lived  in  the  House  that  Jack  Built." 

So  the  merry  rhyme  runs  on  from  page  to  page,  dealing  with  the  bride,  the 
bridegroom,  and  their  future  home,  the  bridesmaids,  the  bridesmen,  the  day, 
the  church,  the. priest,  the  "parchment"  (which  means  the  marriage  certificate), 
the  kith  and  kin,  aunts,  uncles,  cousins  and  all,  the  friends,  the  gifts  all  classi- 
fied, the  feast  and  the  toasts  and  songs  with  which  it  was  glorified,  all  with  the 
amplest  room  for  recording  the  details  under  these  and  other  heads.  A  broad

panel  design,  gorgeous  in  many  colors  and  gold,  showing  all  the  personages  and 
properties  of  this  great  domestic  drama,  runs  continuously  along  the  upper  part 
of  the  doubled  pages;  and  the  pictures  are  certainly  none  the  less  attractive 
because  the  characters  are  portrayed  in  the  splendid  costumes  and  appointments 
of  the  Middle  Ages.  •  Nothing  has  been  spared  to  make  the  book  a  gift  that 
any  bride  will  be  glad  to  treasure  and  proud  to  show  in  future  years.  It  is  of 
ample  size,  ioxn^  inches,  as  its  generous  purpose  demands,  and  the  heavy 
covers  are  embossed  with  an  appropriate  design.

THE  CRAFTSMAN  GUEST  BOOK:  To  HOLD  THE  BRIGHT  CHRONICLES 
OF  HOSPITALITY.  Designed  by  ROBERT  WILSON  HYDE;  verses  by  ARTHUR 
GUITERMAN.  Perhaps  a  friend  has  just  moved  into  a  new  home  or  is  giving  a 
"house-warming"  and  the  occasion  demands  a  gift;  perhaps  a  friend  has  enter- 
tained you  in  his  home,  in  city  or  country,  and  a  graceful  acknowledgment  to 
your  host  or  hostess  would  seem  to  be  in  order;  then  the  GUEST  BOOK,  beau- 
tiful in  construction  and  with  the  very  spirit  of  hospitality  pervading  every 
page,  will  fill  the  need  of  the  hour  as  no  other  present  can.  The  two-page 
frontispiece  is  a  marvel  of  modern  color  work.  There  are  one  hundred  and 
twelve  pages  of  heavy  French  cream  vellum  with  decorations  in  dark  green, 
arranged  to  receive  the  guest's  own  record, —  name,  address,  date  of  visit  and 
"remarks";  and  at  the  head  of  each  page  is  a  greeting  verse  from  somebody 
or  something  in  the  house,  so  that  wherever  a  guest  opens  the  book  he  will 
find  his  welcome.  Everything  and  everybody,  from  the  Carriage-Stone  before 
the  gate  to  the  Weather-Vane  on  the  roof;  from  the  Hostess  at  the  door  to 
the  Canary  in  the  cage  have  their  word  of  greeting  in  couplet  or  quatrain  until 
the  House-Spirit,  at  night,  concludes  with  the  Blessing  of  the  House: 

"Unseen  I  brood,  the  Blessing  old  to  give: 

'  Sleep  soundly.     Wake  in  vigor.     Gladly  live.'  ' 

There  are  also  pages  of  mounting-paper  for  photographs  of  guests  and  like 
souvenirs,  and  drawing-paper  to  receive  the  sketches  of  artist  friends.  It  is  a 
volume  of  imposing  dimensions,  15^x11^  inches,  well  worthy  of  its  destined 
place  on  the  table  of  the  living-room  or  library;  for  it  is  truly  a  triumph  of 
bookmaking,  unapproached  in  its  field. 

HOUSE  GIFT  EDITION:  Bound  in  specially  woven  golden  fabric,  hinged,  boxed,  $7.50  net.  ALL 
HAIL  EDITION:  Bound  in  full  russet  pigskin,  boxed,  $15.00  net.

THE  REMEMBRANCE  GUEST  BOOK.  Designed  by  ROBERT  WILSON 
HYDE;  verses  by  ARTHUR  GUITERMAN.  This  attractive  volume  reproduces  the 
CRAFTSMAN  GUEST  BOOK  in  design,  construction  and  contents,  but  is  planned 
as  a  smaller  volume  to  make  it  suitable  for  more  general  use,  its  dimensions 
being  but  8^xn^  inches.  The  same  design  in  full  color  is  reproduced  for 
the  frontispiece,  and  the  same  series  of  gracious  hospitalities  appear  at  the  head 
of  each  page,  rubricated  in  the  border  designs  of  green  and  black  in  which  are 
spaces  for  the  record  of  guests.  Pages  are  reserved  for  the  artist  friend  to 
show  his  handiwork,  and  others  appear  upon  which  to  attach  some  souvenir,  a 
photograph  or  other  memento,  and  a  section  of  stubs  is  also  provided  for  the 
convenient  insertion  of  letters  and  documents.  The  conventional  title  page  is 
notable  by  its  absence  from  both  editions,  the  publishers  being  content  with  a 
modest  colophon  and,  instead,  supplying  in  the  front  of  the  volume  a  rubricated 
page  upon  which  the  owner's  name  may  be  engrossed.  THE  REMEMBRANCE 
GUEST  BOOK  is  shapely,  complete  and  convenient  and  should  prove  just  the 
right  book  for  many  a  home.

THE  GIRLS'  COLLEGE  RECORD:  A  TREASURY  FOR  MEMORIES  OF  STU- 
DENT DAYS  AND  WAYS.  Arranged  by  VIRGINIA  WOODSON  FRAME.  Here  is 
the  best  of  gifts  for  a  college  girl,  for  it  is  something  that  will  hold  a  place  in 
her  daily  life;  a  record  of  the  four  years  of  undergraduate  life.  It  is  printed  in 
color  with  full-page  cartoons,  topical  decorations  and  the  right  sort  of  verses.

THE  AUTO  GUEST  BOOK:  FOR  DETAILS  OF  MOTOR  TRIPS,  TRIALS  AND 
TRIUMPHS.  By  ETHEL  WATTS-MUMFORD  GRANT  and  RICHARD  BUTLER 
GLAENZER.  "  Though  thou  swear  by  thine  auto  seven  times,  the  eighth  thou 
wilt  swear  at  it,"  so  saith  Punbad  the  Railer,  that  dispenser  of  gasoline-scented 
maxims  in  this  book  for  all  who  enjoy  auto  rides  whether  as  owners  or  guests. 
The  pages  of  rich  toned  paper,  printed  in  two  colors  with  elaborate  humorous 
decorations,  are  prepared  to  receive  full  accounts  of  motor  excursions  with  all 
their  varied  adventures  and  misadventures.  Each  book  is  enclosed  in  a  red 
box  on  which  appears  a  gold  cup,  the  "Trophy  of  the  Chased."

FROM  DICTIONARY  TO  DIME  NOVEL,  MAY  BE  A

HARDLY  DEFINED  QUALITIES  OF  CHARM  THAT

ESPECIALLY  HOLIDAY  GIFTS.  THEY  MAY  BE  BOOKS  OF

IN  LIGHTER  VEIN :  BUNDLES  OF  LAUGHTER  IN  QUIP  AND  ANECDOTE,  gath-

gan's book  so  laudatory  that  the  jolly  jester's  face  on  the  cover  fairly  blushed 
in  pleased  embarrassment.  But  the  book  is  truly  good  company  for  any  one. 
Imagine  sitting  down  at  table  with  Queen  Elizabeth,  and  Bill  Nye,  and  Dr. 
Johnson,  and  Henry  Ward  Beecher,  and  Sir  Arthur  Sullivan  and  Bret  Harte, 
and,  well,  almost  every  one  else  you  ever  heard  about,  and  listening  to  them 
swapping  their  best  yarns  and  experiences !  These  stories  were  rescued  by 
Mr.  De  Morgan  from  all  sorts  of  out-of-the-way  places,  and  are  not  the  kind 
that  everybody  knows.  Besides,  as  another  critic  says,  this  is  "  a  good  book  to 
read  before  dining  out,"  for  it  is  carefully  indexed  and  will  supply  the  speaker 
and  writer  with  plenty  of  effective  illustrations.

ness of  the  rich  black  text,  and  the  strong  headings  enclosed  in  hand-made

fornia artists,  and  gathered  by  San  Francisco's  celebrated  literary  group,  The

THE  PRINCESS  OF  MANOA:  WITH  OTHER  ROMANTIC  TALES  FROM  THE 
FOLK-LORE  OF  OLD  HAWAII.  By  MRS.  FRANK  R.  DAY.  Legends  of  love  and 
heroism,  tales  of  the  Kanakas  and  their  potent  fire-goddess  whose  seat  is  in  the 
red-heart  of  their  ever-smoldering  volcano,  are  here  presented  for  the  delecta- 
tion of  all  who  take  pleasure  in  well-told  stories  of  a  wild  yet  lovable  race.  The 
book  is  printed  and  rubricated  on  a  golden-brown  paper  that  itself  suggests  the 
tawny  islanders  of  the  Pacific,  and  the  ten  large  illustrations  by  D.  Howard 
Hitchcock,  with  the  effect  of  dark-toned  photogravures  tipped  upon  mounting 
sheets,  give  a  characteristic  touch  to  a  beautiful  book  that  is  quite  certain  to  be 
different  from  any  other  in  the  library.

THE  RAVEN:  PREFACED  BY  THE  PHILOSOPHY  OF  COMPOSITION.  By  EDGAR 
ALLAN  POE.  How  distinguished  a  niche  Poe  fills  in  the  world's  literature  was 
abundantly  shown  in  the  tributes  to  the  weird  genius  of  the  unfortunate  poet 
at  his  recent  centenary.  Many  have  called  THE  RAVEN  the  greatest  American 
short  poem,  and  the  remarkable  essay,  THE  PHILOSOPHY  OF  COMPOSITION,  in 
in  which  the  poet  describes  in  detail  the  construction  of  his  masterpiece,  is 
perhaps  his  most  striking  contribution  to  the  literature  of  critical  analysis.  The 
poem  with  its  commentary  is  published  in  a  large  quarto  edition,  printed  on 
Arches  hand-made  paper  and  liberally  illustrated  with  full-page  photogravures. 
Each  page  has  a  rubricked  initial  and  marginal  decoration  by  Will  Jenkins, 
and  the  typography  is  all  that  could  be  desired.  In  the  new  Lenore  Edition  a 
strangely  pleasing  effect  suited  to  the  nature  of  the  poem  is  produced  in  the 
shadow-board  binding  which  shows  ghostly  traceries  of  leaves  beneath  the  surface.

THE  MINISTRY  OF  BEAUTY:  ETHICAL  ESSAYS  OF  LOVE  AND  SERVICE. 
By  STANTON  DAVIS  KIRKHAM.  It  is  easy  to  see  that  these  thirteen  clear,  strong, 
joyous  essays  are  not  the  work  of  a  closeted  recluse,  but  of  a  man  of  action  as 
well  as  of  thought,  a  man  who  knows  the  streets  of  the  city,  the  wider  world 
of  mountain,  sea  and  desert,  and  the  ways  and  hearts  of  men  as  well  as  the 
printed  page.  He  writes  of  Beauty,  Life,  Religion,  Philosophy,  The  World- 
Message,  Work,  Health,  Happiness  and  other  great  essentials,  never  falling 
into  the  error  of  "fine  writing,"  but  always  uniting  clearness  and  simplicity 
with  beauty  of  style.  The  book  is  perfectly  printed  on  Cheltenham  antique 
deckle-edge  paper.  The  new  popular  Starlight  Edition  is  bound  in  gray  with 
the  title  stamped  in  gold,  and  a  graceful  illuminated  selection  affixed  as  a  fron- 
tispiece.

QUATRAINS  OF  CHRIST.  REVERENT  VERSE  OF  RARE  BEAUTY  AND  FEEL- 
ING. By  GEORGE  CREEL.  "  Within  and  without  a  lovable  book."  So  says 
Richard  Burton  in  The  Bellman,  agreeing  with  many  other  critics  that  Mr. 
Creel's  work  is  both  Religion  and  Literature  —  a  rare  combination.  In  perfect 
verse  in  the  melodious  meter  of  the  Ruba'iyat,  Mr.  Creel  expresses  the  simple, 
unquestioning,  glorious  faith  of  primitive  Christianity.  The  workmanship  is  a 
treat  to  the  eye  as  the  text  is  to  the  mind.

S..THE  SEA  FOGS.  By  ROBERT  Louis  STEVENSON.  That  beautiful  phenomenon 
of  the  Pacific  Coast,  the  sun-painted  sea-fogs  rolling  in  upon  the  mountains,  is 
vividly  described  by  the  modern  master  of  plain  English.  The  introduction  is 
by  Thomas  R.  Bacon  and  the  frontispiece  by  Albertine  Randall  Wheelan. 

2.  THE  CASE  OF  SUMMERFIELD.  By  WILLIAM  H.  RHODES.  When  originally  pub- 
lished, in   1871   as  a   newspaper  hoax,  this  fantastic  yet  realistic  tale  greatly 
agitated  timorous  souls  with  its  implied  threat  of  impending  destruction  of  the 
world  through- the  demoniac  discoverer  of  a  startling  chemical  secret.    Geraldine 
Bonner  supplies  the  introduction  and  Galen  J.  Perrett  the  frontispiece. 

3.  TENNESSEE'S  PARTNER.    By  BRET  HARTE.    Of  all   Bret  Harte's  earliest  and 
best  stories,  there  could  be  no  more  fitting  selection  than  the  strong  pathetic 
tale  of  a  simple,  whole-hearted  friendship  that  no  wrong-doing  could  break. 
In  his  introduction  William  Dallam  Armes  tells  the  story  of  the  original  of 
the  hero  of  the  tale.    In  the  frontispiece  Albertine  Randall  Wheelan  finely 
interprets  one  of  the  author's  most  striking  passages. 

4.  A  SON  OF  THE  GODS  and  A  HORSEMAN  IN  THE  SKY.    By  AMBROSE  BIERCE. 
No  other  war  stories  are  quite  like  these  two  heroic  scenes  by  one  of  varied 
talents  who  was  himself  a  boy  soldier  in  the  Civil  War,  and  who  can  write  of 
noble  men  without  bitterness.    The  introduction  is  by  W.  C.  Morrow  and  the 
frontispiece  by  Will  Jenkins.

THE  TWINS  AND  THE  WHYS:  A  FAIRY  TALE  WORTH  WHILE  FOR

gory is  a  very  clear  one,  and  doesn't  in  the  slightest  conflict  with  the  story 
interest  demanded  by  children  of  all  ages.  Two  little  girls,  bearing  the  sugges- 
tive names  "Cannie"  and  "  Cantie,"  set  forth  on  a  small  "Pilgrim's  Progress" 
through  this  world  of "  Whys,"  and  meet  with  charadteristic  and  instructive 
adventures  —  as  do  most  of  us  in  our  like  pilgrimages. 

"So  near  is  evil  when  we're  weak  "So  near  is  grandeur  to  our  dust,

THE  LITTLE  BROWN  HEN  HEARS  THE  SONG  OF  THE  NIGHT- 
INGALE and  THE  GOLDEN  HARVEST.  By  JASMINE  STONE  VAN 
DRESSER,  with  a  Foreword  by  MARGARET  BEECHER  WHITE.  All  the  mellow 
tenderness  and  inner  truth  characteristic  of  the  most  delightful  tales  of  Hans 
Christian  Andersen  warms  and  illumines  these  two  charming  little  parables  by 
the  author  of  "How  to  Find  Happyland."  They  are  tales  of  the  kind  that 
children  ask  to  hear  again  and  again;  for  they  have  the  needed  touches  of 
quiet  humor,  the  atmosphere  of  familiar  scenes,  and  the  message  of  each  is 
clearly  conveyed  in  the  story  and  not  too  obviously  dragged  in  at  the  end.  As 
a  gift,  the  book  will  delight  any  child  with  its  external  beauty,  for  the  illustra-

"Life's  but  a  means  unto  an  end, —  that  end, 
To  those  who  dwell  in  Him,  He  most  in  them, 
Beginning,  mean,  and  end  of  all  things, —  God. 
Why  will  we  live  and  not  be  glorious  ? ' '

QURE  MAGIC:  THOUGH  THE  MYSTIC  FOLIO  OF 
MICHAEL  SCOTT  THE  WIZARD  IS  LOST  TO  MAN, 
HOW    MANY   PAGES   OF    ENCHANTMENT   HAVE 
COME  TO  TAKE  ITS  PLACE!    FOR  HAVE  WE  NOT 
TREASURED  VOLUMES  THAT  OPEN  OUR  EYES  TO  THE 
NOBLER  WORLD  — A  WORLD  IN  WHICH  WE  LIVE  AND 
YET  A  WORLD  WE  SOMETIMES  FAIL  TO  SEE? 

IN  THE  OPEN :  HAPPY-HEARTED  NATURE  TALKS  OF  A  NATURE  LOVER.  By 
STANTON  DAVIS  KIRKHAM.  Of  all  the  tales  we  love  to  hear,  the  most  delight- 
ful are  those  of  things  around  us,  of  things  that  we  know  or  may  know  if  we 
will  but  open  our  eyes  and  see.  Such  things  Mr.  Kirkham  helps  us  to  see  and 
to  enjoy.  Nothing  escapes  his  eye  and  his  trained  intelligence.  As  Mr.  Edwin 
L.  Shuman  says  in  the  Chicago  Record-Herald,  "  Mr.  Kirkham  writes  like  a 
poet,  but  he  also  observes  like  a  scientist."  And  he  writes  of  Signs  of  Spring, 
Bird  Life,  Wild  Gardens,  Insect  Lore,  Pasture  Stones,  The  Winter  Woods, 
Mountain,  Forest  and  Sea — all  our  common  heritage — with  charm  and  interest. 
The  book  is  printed  on  English  Esparto  paper,  and  illustrated  with  a  series  of 
remarkable  photographs  by  Rudolf  Eickemeyer  and  a  wonderful  colored  frontis- 
piece of  wild  geese  winging  across  sunset  clouds  by  Louis  Agassiz  Fuertes.

THE  CALL  OF  THE  CITY:  LIVELY  CHAT  ON  THE  DELIGHTS  OF  URBAN 
LIFE.  By  CHARLES  MULFORD  ROBINSON.  Like  Charles  Lamb  in  another  cen- 
tury, Mr.  Robinson  takes  up  the  cudgels  for  the  too  often  disparaged  town,  and 
in  a  dozen  winning  essays  tells  of  the  fascination  that,  since  walls  were  first 
raised,  has  been  drawing  mankind  toward  the  ringing  streets.  To  quote  the 
Philadelphia  Book  News  Monthly,  "In  his  prose  one  feels  the  true  heart-beat 
of  the  city  —  of  the  life  which  fascinates  and,  if  rightly  lived,  ennobles  those 
who  come  in  contact  with  it."  The  book  is  printed  on  Exeter  white  wove 
paper  and  bound  with  a  taste  that  recommends  it  as  a  presentation  volume  for 
any  lover  of  good  essays.  On  the  brown  cover  is  an  inlaid  panel  picture  of 
moonlit  city  roofs,  giving  a  characteristic  poetic  touch.

IMPRESSIONS  OF  UKIYO-YE  (THE  SCHOOL  OF  THE  JAPANESE  COLOUR-

Presents  in  Print  -  With  Some  in  Color  &  Gold  -  77 

quaintly  blended,  is  now  necessary  to  an  artistic  education.  There  is  nothing 
coldly  formal  or  scholastic  about  these  treasures  so  prized  by  collectors.  They 
depict  the  intimate  life  of  a  people,  and  constitute  the  essentially  national  art 
of  a  race  that  is  unquestionably  playing  an  important  part  in  the  development 
of  the  world.  The  book  is  of  itself  an  art-treasure,  printed  with  a  strong  Jap- 
anese effect  on  double-leaved  Japan  paper  and  illustrated  with  numerous 
examples  of  the  work  of  those  old  artists  whose  often  romantic  lives  and 
always  notable  productions  the  text  describes  and  interprets.

THE  TOCSIN:  A  SPIRITED,  ROMANTIC  DRAMA  OF  THE  RENAISSANCE.  By 
ESTHER  BROWN  TIFFANY.  A  brave,  stirring  romance  of  brisk  action  and  heroic 
climax  is  this  little  drama  of  fair  Florence  in  the  picturesque  days  of  the 
Medici.  A  romance  it  is  indeed,  and  one  that  makes  engrossing  reading,  for 
the  quick  dialogue  tells  with  more  than  the  vividness  of  ordinary  narrative  the 
tale  of  the  loves  of  Lorenzo  and  Marianna,  of  the  coquetry  of  beautiful  Bianca 
delle  Torre,  the  self-sacrifice  of  saintly  Sister  Maddalena,  and  the  wit,  pleasant 
worldliness  and  ultimate  grand  moral  awakening  of  the  courtly  Abbot  of  San 
Raffaello,  who,  even  in  his  baser  days,  is  always  benevolent,  ever  a  gentleman. 
The  book  has,  moreover,  a  freshness,  a  fervor,  an  honest  inspiration  that  will 
warm  the  hearts  of  all  readers.  The  book  is  issued  in  a  limited  edition  printed 
on  hand-made  paper,  with  a  frontispiece  in  photogravure  after  Michael  Angelo's 
"  Dream  of  Life."

CALIFORNIA  AND  OTHER  SONNETS.  By  FANNY  PURDY  PALMER.  A 
timely  and  delightful  little  volume  of  Sonnets, —  a  notable  contribution  to  the 
poetry  of  California.  The  opening  sequence  creates  a  scenic  setting  for  the 
main  theme,  summarizes  the  romantic  past  of  California,  and  hints  an  impres- 
sion of  her  social  present.  Single  sonnets  as,  My  Garden  by  the  Sea,  In  a 
Canyon,  The  Carmel  Valley  from  the  River's  Mouth,  are  luminous  with  the 
out-of-door  atmosphere  in  which  they  are  steeped.  Monterey  Cypress  and 
The  Meadow-Lark  may  be  named  as  highly  finished  word  pictures.  The 
themes  of  the  Post  Meridiem  Sonnets  of  Part  II  are  in  the  nature  of  self- 
revealing  speculations  upon  Life,  with  a  dramatic  and  personal  element  which 
adds  to  their  interest.  The  edition  is  limited  to  two  hundred  and  fifty  copies, 
printed  on  hand-made  paper  in  early  English  type.

THE  PHILOSOPHY  OF  HOPE:  A  COUNTERBLAST  AGAINST  FUTILE  PES- 
SIMISM. By  DAVID  STARR  JORDAN.  Militant  optimism  —  not  weak  good-na- 
ture,—  but  the  optimism  that  justifies  its  faith  by  works,  that  toils  and  fights 
for  the  realization  of  its  ideals, —  this  is  the  spirit  upheld  by  Dr.  Jordan  in  his 
little  book,  already  regarded  as  a  classic  in  its  field.  His  creed  is  a  working 
creed.  It  is  the  creed  that  must  be  held  by  all  who  achieve;  for  Despair  wins 
no  battles,  Pessimism  is  ever  inglorious.  Speaking  of  the  true  usefulness  of 
Dr.  Jordan's  work,  an  earnest  critic  in  the  Chicago  Record-Herald  says:  "I 
wish  that  the  new  plates  of  this  little  book  might  be  worn  out  with  repeated 
printings  of  editions  to  go  into  the  hands  of  every  young  cynic  and  old  pessi- 
mist in  the  land."

THE  PHILOSOPHY  OF  INGERSOLL:  BRILLIANT  FLASHES  FROM  A  VIR- 
ILE INTELLECT.  Compiled  by  VERE  GOLDTHWAITE.  Here  are  the  treasures  of 
a  wonderful  mind,  the  revealments  of  a  deep,  tender  nature,  the  glowing  word- 
pidtures  of  a  born  orator  and  poet.  Not  merely  the  spirited  and  sometimes 
unsparing  controversialist,  Colonel  Robert  G.  Ingersoll  was  a  man  of  composite 
genius  and  broad  humanity ;  and  in  this  work  is  presented  his  best  and  kindli- 
est thought  as  well  as  his  brightest  and  wittiest.  No  bitterness  found  a  home 
in  the  heart  of  the  man  who  could  say,  "  There  is  only  one  way  to  be  happy, 
and  that  is  to  make  somebody  else  so."

CO-EXISTENCE  OF  PHYSICAL  &  MENTAL  EXCELLENCE

THE  SECRETS  OF  BEAUTY  AND  MYSTERIES  OF  HEALTH:  WITH 
SUGGESTIONS  AND  RECIPES  GATHERED  IN  ALL  PARTS  OF  THE  WORLD.  By 
CORA  BROWN  POTTER.  "  Physician,  cure  thyself,"  said  old  ./Esop,  implying  that 
it  is  folly  to  buy  hair-restorers  from  a  bald-headed  chemist.  On  the  other 
hand,  take  note  that,  as  one  gallant  reviewer  says  of  Mrs.  Potter's  book,  "It  is 
written  by  one  whose  health  and  beauty  are  proof  of  the  truth  she  expounds." 
Separate  chapters  treat  of  the  care  of  the  skin,  hair,  nails,  eyes,  nose,  ears,  face, 
mouth,  teeth,  hands,  feet  and  torso,  and  include  many  recipes  and  hints  ob- 
tained, as  Mrs.  Potter  tells  in  an  interesting  preface,  from  the  beauties  of  many 
lands  during  her  brilliant  career  on  the  stage  and  world-wide  travels.  The  book 
has  recently  been  issued  in  the  popular  Calypso  Edition.

MESSAGES  TO  MOTHERS:  A  PLEA  FOR  NATURAL  METHODS  WITH  OUT- 
LINES OF  CORRECT  DIET.  By  HERMAN  PARTSCH,  M.  D.  Convincing  common 
sense  underlies  the  hygienic  program  of  this  physician.  Dr.  Partsch  is  neither 
a  medical  theorist  nor  a  blind  believer  in  the  efficacy  of  drugs;  he  is  an  expert 
practitioner  of  twenty-four  years'  standing,  and  his  advice  in  regard  to  simple 
methods  of  treatment,  natural  diet  and  the  care  of  mothers  and  young  children 
is  based  upon  long  experience  and  unbiased  observation.  "  The  most  vital 
message  of  the  book  is  a  clear  exposition  of  the  ways  and  means  by  which  pre- 
ventable ills  may  be  eliminated." — Science  of  Health.  There  is  no  reason  why 
a  book  with  a  serious  purpose  should  lack  beauty,  and  this  has  been  made 
thoroughly  attractive  in  neat  binding  with  the  Delia  Robbia  "Bambino"  as  a 
frontispiece  and  cover  design.

THE  MOTHER  OF  CALIFORNIA:  LOWER  CALIFORNIA,  ITS  STRANGE 
HISTORY  AND  COMING  IMPORTANCE.  By  ARTHUR  WALBRIDGE  NORTH.  With 
an  Introduction  by  CYRUS  C.  ADAMS  of  the  American  Geographical  Society. 
Prospering  in  territory  hitherto  untouched  by  the  historian,  Mr.  North  has 
reconstructed  from  old  Spanish  documents  and  later  records  the  first  history  of 
the  long  finger  of  land  that  points  to  the  Panama  Canal  —  the  peninsula  which, 
he  tells  us,  we  occupied  during  the  Mexican  War,  but,  failing  to  recognize  its 
coming  strategic  importance,  relinquished  as  "the  tail-end  of  an  earthquake." 
The  book  is  illustrated  with  thirty-two  views,  and  contains  the  only  modern 
authoritative  chart  of  an  interesting  but  little-known  region.

so  crisp ;  because  the  person  at  whom  they  are  aimed  so  often  feels  as  if  he  had 
been  toasted ;  because  they  are  so  frequently  spread  with  the  butter  of  smooth 
compliment.  Anyhow,  here  are  toasts  to  everything  toastable.  Here  is  wit  for 
the  big  public  banquet  and  spice  for  the  home  feast.  Here  —  well,  for  example, 
"Here's  to  Friendship  —  love  without  his  wings."  "Here's  to  the  model 
husband — always  some  other  woman's!"  It  belongs  in  the  library  of  any  one 
who  ever  dines  out,  for  it  is  full  of  the  seeds  of  merriment  and  is  both  quotable 
and  readable.

HOW  TO  TELL  THE  BIRDS  FROM  THE  FLOWERS:  A  MANUAL 
OF  FLORNITHOLOGY  FOR  BEGINNERS.  By  ROBERT  WILLIAMS  WOOD.  Not  even 
the  most  accomplished  nature-faker  could  have  distinguished  a  shorter  and 
uglier  Bird  from  a  Flower  of  Speech,  before  Professor  Wood's  astonishing  work 
convulsed  the  scientific  world. 

"The  Parrot  and  the  Carrot  we  may  easily  confound  — 
They  're  very  much  alike  in  looks  and  similar  in  sound  ; 
We  recognize  the  Parrot  by  his  clear  articulation, 
For  Carrots  are  unable  to  engage  in  conversation." 

With  a  skill  both  in  description  and  in  drawing  (for  he  did  the  pictures,  too), 
worthy  his  dignity  as  professor  of  experimental  physics  at  Johns  Hopkins 
University,  the  author  thus  teaches  us  the  differences  between  the  Bird  and 
the  Burdock,  the  Clover  and  the  Plover,  the  Rue  and  the  Rooster,  the  Roc 
and  the  Shamrock,  creating  one  of  the  most  original  bits  of  humor  that  the 
great  American  people  have  ever  laughed  at.  The  new  edition  comes  in  a 
lively  red  box.

ANIMAL  ANALOGUES:  WHIMSICAL  COMPARISONS  OF  BIRD,  BEAST  AND

a  distinguished  Faunal  Naturalist  will  acknowledge  what  a  help  this  book  has 
been  to  him.  Imagine  what  confusion  there  would  be  in  the  collection  for  the 
Smithsonian  Institution  if  the  Collector  was  unable  to  distinguish  between  a 
Doe  and  a  Dodo,  an  Antelope  and  a  Cantelope,  a  Pipe-fish  from  a  Sea-gar,  or 
a  P-cock  from  a  Qjcumber,—  and  this  is  positively  the  only  book  ever  printed 
that  explains  the  differences.  The  bright  box  that  holds  the  book  is  as  cheerful 
as  the  verses  and  pictures.

Presents  in  Print  -  With  Some  in  Color  &  Gold  -  23 

of  purely  playful  cynicism  and  kindly  wit  was  altogether  too  valuable  to  have 
its  life  limited  to  one  brief  year,  have  caused  it  to  be  made  immortal ;  that  is, 
it  is  now  a  perpetual  calendar,  good  for  all  time.  But  it  isn't  a  bit  the  worse 
for  that.  It  is  full  of  clever  quips  and  twisted  proverbs  like: 

"Poets  are  born,  not  paid." 

"Never  strike  a  woman  —  tell  her  she  can't  reason." 

"It's  a  long  love  that  has  no  turning." 

It  has  the  most  surprising  descriptions  of  the  heavens  during  the  different 
months,  and  there  never  was  a  calendar  that  propounded  to  you  the  awful  secret 
of  your  lucky  and  unlucky  days  as  accurately  as  this.  Where  else  will  you  find 
such  practical  rules  of  etiquette  as: 

"Never  drink  from  your  finger-bowl — it  contains  only  water." 
"Don't  leave  your  spoon  in  your  cup — work  it  up  your  sleeve." 

Yes,  it  is  the  ideal  gift  for  New  Year's.

jest  rhymes  and  epigrams  have  been  called,  for  many  of  them  are  the  pith  of 
droll  stories  that  pass  from  mouth  to  mouth  not  only  in  Hindustan  but  in  all 
the  bazaars  of  the  Orient. 

"Who  cooked  this  rice?" 

"Not  I  !  —  that  Worthless  Hound  !" 
"'T  is  very  nice." 

"Why — yes — I  stirred  it  round  !  " 

They  are  rich  in  shrewd  hits  on  human  frailties,  not  unlike  some  of  our  own 
sayings,  but  far  more  picturesque,  as  : 

"Two  Sparrows  for  one  rice-grain  made  a  riot. 
The  Cat  was  Arbitrator;  —  all  is  quiet." 

Nor  is  a  tenderer  element  wanting: 

"My  Hair  hung  low,  a  giossy  Braid  ; 

Thy  Beard  was  down  upon  thy  chin  ; 
Our  Love,  the  Love  of  Youth  and  Maid, 
To  which  all  other  Love  is  Sin  ! ' ' 

The  book  is  printed  in  Oriental  style  in  deep  tan-brown  on  heavy  paper,  with 
an  unusual  frontispiece  in  color  by  Will  Jenkins.

THE  LOVE  SONNETS  OF  A  HOODLUM:  SLANGFUL  SIGHINGS  OF  A 
ROMEO  OF  THE  STREETS.  By  WALLACE  IRWIN.  Some  day,  when  Mr.  Irwin's 
bust  is  unveiled  in  Westminster  Abbey,  you  will  treasure  this  book  even  more 
as  the  work  that  made  him  famous.  To  gather  an  idea  of  the  hero  of  these 
touching  sonnets,  behold  him  as  he  fain  would  see  himself: 

"As  follows  is  the  make-up  I  shall  buy 

Next  week,  when  from  the  boss  I  draw  my  pay  :  — 
A  white  and  yellow  zig-zag  cutaway, 
A  sunset-colored  vest  and  purple  tie, — 

There's  a  lot  more,  but  it  is  a  shame  to  knock  off  these  little  specimens,  or  to 
abbreviate  the  passionate  outpourings  of  a  soulful  nature. 

Bound  in  flexible  Roman,  25  cents  net.     BANDANNA  EDITION:   Bound  in  genuine  Hoodlum  handker- 
chief, 50  cents  net. 

THE  LOVE  SONNETS  OF  A  CAR  CONDUCTOR.  FULL  ACCOUNT  OF 
THE  WOOING  OF  A  BELL-PULL  SPECIALIST.  By  WALLACE  IRWIN.  Supposing  you 
were  a  conductor,  and  your  hated  rival  took  the  Only  Girl  to  a  dance,  using 
your  own  car  as  a  means  of  conveyance,  what  would  you  do  ?  No,  this  is  n't  a 
problem  novel,  but  a  sonnet  sequence  of  sublime  devotion  that  you  can  send  — 
well,  any  one  as  a  holiday  gift  or  a  valentine.  Observe  the  denouement: 

"For  when  your  arms  are  full  of  girl  and  fluff, 

You  hide  your  nerve  behind  a  yard  of  grin ; 
You  'd  spit  into  a  wildcat's  face  and  bluff 
A  flock  of  dragons  with  a  safety-pin." 

Besides  that,  it  is  impressively  decorated  and  illustrated  by  Raymond  Carter. 

STEP-LIVELY  EDITION  :   Bound  in  red  transfer  paper  boards,  boxed,  50  cents  net. 

THE  RUBAIYAT  OF  OMAR  KHAYYAM,  JR.:  SOLILOQUIES  ON  BEAUTY, 
TOBACCO,  HAIRPINS  AND  OTHER  THINGS.  By  WALLACE  IRWIN.  It  grew  and 
grew  and  still  the  wonder  grew,  that  one  small  head  could  harbor  all  he  knew. 
Not  that  his  head  is  really  small,  but  listen  to  this: 

"A  Microbe  lingers  in  a  Kiss,  you  say? 
Yes,  but  he  nibbles  in  a  pleasant  Way. 

Rather  than  in  the  Cup  or  Telephone 
Better  to  catch  him  Kissing  and  be  gay." 

Lots  more  of  the  same  sort,  wiser  and  more  humoristical.    The  eight  illustra- 
tions and  cover  design  are  by  Gelett  Burgess. 

Bound  in  yellow  silk  fiber,  50  cents  net.

by  the  hostess,  each  corded  so  that  it  may  be  worn  as  a  tally-card  or  favor. 
Thus,  if  one  fair  guest  draws  "  The  Parrot,"  her  partner  will  be  the  man  who 
has  drawn  "The  Carrot";  the  man  who  draws  "The  Ole  Gander"  must  look 
for  a  partner  who  has  drawn  "The  Oleander."  And  so  they  run,  "The  Puss" 
taking  "The  Octo-pus,"  "The  Bunny"  taking  "The  Tunny,"  "The  Pecan" 
taking  "The  Toucan"  and  "The  Pansy"  taking  "The  Chim-pansy." 

The  series  comprises  an  assortment  of  sixteen  subjefts  or  pairs,  making  thirty-two  individual  tally- 
cards,  providing  for  the  entertainment  of  thirty-two  guests  without  duplicates.  Any  desired  number

CALENDARS  FOR  1910:  PAGES  FROM  THE  BOOK  OF  FATHER  TIME.  Richly 
simple, —  for  while  every  leaf  is  beautifully  illustrated  in  color,  great  care  and 
taste  has  been  exercised  to  avoid  that  over-elaboration  which  gradually  palls 
upon  the  eye.  In  every  case  both  words  and  decorations  have  been  chosen  in 
view  of  the  fact  that  the  calendars  we  send  to  our  friends  should  not  be  things 
of  a  day,  but  works  of  Art  and  Thought  to  be  looked  upon  with  pleasure 
through  all  the  coming  year  and  even  treasured  when  that  year  is  with  the  Past. 
That  the  first  impression  may  be  agreeable,  each  calendar  is  enclosed  in  a  taste- 
ful box  of  pleasant  hue,  with  greeting  labels  designed  by  Harold  Sichel.

pings of  white  and  gold  and  green.  And  lettered  in  the  design  are  the  words 
of  young  Sir  Gareth  in  Tennyson's  "  Idylls  of  the  King,"  beginning,  "  Man  am
